Over time, a gas tank may begin to corrode and fail. When this happens, gas may leak from the vehicle, having an effect on fuel economy, and potentially leading to a dangerous fire or explosion. If gasoline is leaking from the gas tank, you should be able to notice the leak underneath the rear of the vehicle accompanied by a noticeable smell. It is important to inspect the kind of fluid leaking to ensure that it is gasoline. Gasoline may also leak from fuel lines and may require a different repair than a leak from the fuel tank. Finding the origin of the leak will help you and the mechanic determine what repairs will need to be made.

How this system works:

The gas tank is a reservoir for gasoline used to power the combustion engine in an automobile. Gasoline is filled from outside the vehicle, down a filler neck, and into the tank. Tank size and material varies based upon the size and make of the vehicle. Gas tanks are typically made of metal or plastic and may be built with the fuel pump inside the tank. Whether or not the fuel pump inside the tank or not, fuel is pumped from the tank to the engine where it mixes with air and is burned. A leak in the fuel tank may be dangerous and cause flammable vapors to escape the tank.

Common reasons for this to happen:

  • Corroded/Leaking Gas Tank: Over time, gas tanks may corrode and start leaking. In areas where there is a lot of snow and salt, corrosion may be more prevalent and more rapid. Depending on the location of the leak (e.g. if it is on a seam) there may be an increased risk that the leak will become worse if not dealt with.

  • Punctured Gas Tank: Even though gas tanks are typically made from sturdy materials, it is possible that a gas tank could be punctured. Punctures are more serious and may require the entire tank to be replaced.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the origin of the leak and what repairs will necessary. The mechanic will then provide a detailed inspection report outlining the nature and cause of the leak and the cost of any repairs that need to be made.

How it's done:

A mechanic will first inspect the ground underneath the gas tank to see if gasoline has pooled under the tank. The mechanic should then inspect the tank itself to identify the source of the leak. He or she should then determine if the original tank can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced completely. If the tank needs to be replaced, the mechanic will first drain the old tank. He or she should then disconnect the original fuel lines, inspecting them to see if they if they need to be replaced. The mechanic will then remove the straps that hold the tank and drop it. The mechanic should install the new tank ensuring that all the appropriate parts are reconnected. He or she will then add fuel to the tank and start the vehicle to make sure the fuel system is working properly.

How important is this service?

Any gas leak can become extremely dangerous if not dealt with. Besides the worsening fuel economy, your vehicle may also be susceptible to fire or an explosion. A mechanic may be able to repair the gas tank without having to fully replace it. If you notice a gas smell or gas pooling underneath the gas tank you should let a mechanic inspect your vehicle. Having a mechanic inspect your gas tank can help recover lost gas mileage and keep your passengers safe. Gas leaks will only become worse over time and should be dealt with immediately.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Check Engine Light is on - Los Angeles, California
I posted this on YELP~ This was the most stressful car repair experience I have ever had. My MAzda Miata Mx-5 check engine light was on and I already knew it was one of two codes relating to fuel injection. I called last Wed. and scheduled an apt for Monday 100 pm. Monday 115- no mechanic.I called & the man told me he would call me right back....2 hrs later I called again. The woman said she would call me right back. No call Back. After wasting the entire day waiting, I left feedback on Facebook. I was told that they had called me back.I'm staring at my phone - no calls. I leave more feedback.I am told Kevin will come at 700 and I need to call again to confirm that is ok.I call and say fine though by this time I am wary it will turn out well. The woman on the phone insists I give her my VIN number and I cannot understand why, I question her, saying he is checking codes and then deciding what part he needs, so why would you need to call Mazda with my VIN Number. She gets testy and demands it, I go retrieve it outside. I tell her and she says So what part do you want me to order? I say how would I know the mechanic did not come yet! She gets frustrated with me as if I wasted her time. I get an email telling me Kevin is coming to a different address than is on my profile & the address I have told them I live at. I go for a walk because I am so upset that everything is turning out so badly I'm wondering if I stopped making sense. Kevin calls 4 times, he came early, he's sitting at the end of the street as they gave him the wrong address/n. . He is the nicest mechanic I have ever met. He quickly checks the code. He tells me there is NO WAY it can be done by YourMECHANIC- the car needs to be raised in the air and smoke needs to be blown thru the pipes to show where the leak is.Whoever does this will check the codes again, thats how it goes. SO I wasted my entire day and my money on something that could not be done out of a shop. Today I get an email with my receipt and Service Report. .I click the link - it says: The page you were looking for does not exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. Today I feel more centered knowing it is not me who has stopped making sense, I can find a mechanic that communicates in a manner other Humans do and next time my money will not be completely wasted. So Maddy M of YOURMECHANIC said sorry they couldnt do the work - I said what about the other many many many mistakes from last wed. to the final mistake with the blank service email on Tuesday. I would like a refund as I already had the codes and I could have been told the very first time I called that this job could not be done at my house , that it needed to be done in a shop.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Oil Pressure Sensor - Sugar Land, Texas
Casey showed up on time and did great work in a filthy environment (oil leak). He had to do some extra work because of some very hard to reach parts that had been incorrectly installed by a previous mechanic. I am very happy with his work and conduct.
